Take Care of My Girlfriend Chapter 15

Chapter 15 : Never been Kissed….until now


Awkward would be the understatement of the year as the tension in the van remained high. The manager kept his attention on the roads, Junhyung on his iPod, leaving Hyuna, alone, to wallow in fear. Fear over what the President was going to say, what the media thinks and most importantly what Kikwang is going to say.

The trio cut their mini vacation short after the news article came out and a call from the President demanding that they get their behinds back in Seoul ASAP came. As the manager entered the Cube Entertainment buildings, there were mobs of people waiting. From fan girls to reporters, people mobbed the arriving van. Junhyung groaned and put his hoodie back on, hoping to hide away from the world.


After finding safe haven in the garage of the Cube, the three of them made their way to the President’s office, as if they were walking to their death. No words were exchange, no glances were made as they entered the elevators.

When they entered the President’s office, Hyuna took the seat furthest away from the President, as a last resort to protect herself from what was about to go down.

“You guys are finally back.” The President started the impromptu meeting.
“Yes. President. We came back as soon as possible.”
“You know Manager Lee what kind of a situation that we have right now. Two of our artists are now embroiled in a scandal. Sure it’s not a big scandal but it is a scandal nonetheless.” The manager nodded at President’s words.
“I’m sorry. I should’ve taken better care of them.”
“You see the people outside. Media outlets are here demanding the truth about the so-called relationship between these two.”

“They are not in a relationship. The pictures were just taken at the wrong time.” The manager defended Junhyung and Hyuna.
“that’s not what people think. While it’s great to have this much attention on our stars, it can be very damaging to them. Fans can turn on them in an instant.” The President explained and then turned his attention on the two who kept quiet.
“You two, you guys are not really dating?”

“NO President-nim. We’re really not. We were just having fun and the photographer just made it seems like we’re dating.” Hyuna quickly explained.
“I… I believe you. But they won’t.” the President sighed. “But it’s too late. The pictures are out there already. I already sent out a statement denying that you guys are not dating, just really close friends.”

“So is there anything we can do?” Junhyung asked, slightly relieved at the President’s lack of anger.
“Well, don’t ever let any more pictures like this be taken again. Understand?” Junhyung nodded. “How about you Hyuna?” Hyuna quickly nodded.

“Good. I guess there’s nothing we can do but just to wait for this to pass. Ok. You guys can go.”
The trio quickly got their butts out of the office.

At the Lounge.


Hyuna had never been so relieved in her entire life. The whole car ride, she had been worried about President’s reaction and it seems that he had taken in better than she thought he would. Hyuna let out a sigh of relief as she grabbed herself a drink by herself. She ignored the stares and whispers of other trainees passing by and she relaxed when she was left alone in the lounge by herself.


“Yah Kim Hyuna!!!” someone suddenly yelled out her name. Hyuna tensed as she realized whom that voice belonged to. She turned around to see a furious Kikwang storming towards her. Guess I can’t relax yet. she thought to herself as she braced for the conversation she was about to have with one pissed off boyfriend.



“Hyuna.” Kikwang’s low voice scared Hyuna more than his loud yells. She could tell that he was angry just by looking at him. His usually smiling eyes are replaced by death glares and his breathing was more shallow.

“Oppa. I can explain.”
“The pictures. Are they true?” Kikwang asked.
“We were just playing around. We didn’t even see a photographer anywhere. It was just innocent playing I swear.” Hyuna said, praying that Kikwang would believe her.
“So the photographer just saw this and just decide to write this story about you guys going out?” Hyuna nodded profusely. Kikwang stared into Hyuna’s eyes, hoping to see signs of whether or not she’s telling the truth.

“Oppa. I swear. This was just a misunderstanding. I would never betray you like this.” Hyuna pleaded with Kikwang. Kikwang kept quiet for a while, not saying anything. Tears began to roll out of Hyuna’s eyes, at the thought of Kikwang not believing her.

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” Hyuna said through her tears. She couldn’t even blame Kikwang for being angry. She would be angry to if the situation was reversed. She couldn’t stop her tears at the thought of losing Kikwang. Kikwang just stood there, watching Hyuna cried and all the while his heart was hurting. He hated seeing her cry, even hating it more that he’s the reason why. He trusted Hyuna, he really did but the picture of seeing Hyuna in Junhyung’s arms just struck a nerve with him.

He knew their history together, knew that if he wasn’t in the picture, Hyuna and Junhyung would probably be together. He had pushed it out of his mind for a while now and focused on treating Hyuna right. After all, both Hyuna and Junhyung promised that nothing was going on right? And Kikwang had been working hard to replace Junhyung in Hyuna’s heart.

As more tears streamed down Hyuna’s face and she began to sobs, Kikwang couldn’t remain to be stoic anymore. He raised his hands and wiped her tears away. Hyuna gasped as Kikwang pulled her into his arms. She began to cry harder at her most understanding boyfriend.


Outside of the Lounge


Junhyung was exhausted. That little vacation turned out to be more tiring than having no vacation. He remembered vividly in his head of Hyuna’s face when the manager showed them the article. A mix of shock, disbelief, fear, and anger were shown on her delicate face and it broke his heart seeing that the prospect of them being together can cause her to have such reactions. He sighed to himself. He thought, actually prayed, that time would heal all. Time would be the answer to make him forget about Hyuna but the more time passed, the more he seems to fall for her. Now she is stuck in his mind, like superglue, unable to take her out. And he feels like a total bastard for feeling that way, because of Kikwang.

He walked over to the lounge, hoping to find Hyuna. She seemed upset when they left the President’s office and he wanted to help her. He was about to enter the lounge when he saw something that would shatter the last remaining pieces of his intact heart.


Back in the lounge


Hyuna pulled away from Kikwang’s embrace and looked into his eyes. Kikwang wiped her remaining tears off and smiled. Hyuna smiled back, relishing in his once smiling eyes, directed for her.

“Oppa. You’re the best.” Hyuna whispered.
“If you say there’s nothing going on then I believe you Hyuna. I trust you.” Kikwang whispered back. Hyuna couldn’t take her eyes away from Kikwang’s understanding self.

Pretty soon, Kikwang leaned closer to Hyuna’s face, his attention directed at her lips. Hyuna’s heart beats fast when she recognize what is about to happen. Her first kiss. She closed her eyes in anticipation for it. Kikwang took that a sign to continue as he inched closer and closer. Pretty soon, their lips were touching as they kissed for the first time.

It was a tender and sweet moment and when they finally pulled apart, Kikwang smiled and kissed Hyuna’s forehead. Hyuna found refuge in his arms once again, grateful as she found a way to hide her blushing face.



As Junhyung watched this, he couldn’t move. He couldn’t breathe. Hyuna’s first kiss was now taken by Kikwang, just like how Kikwang also stolen the place as her first boyfriend. He suppressed his anger and sadness and snapped out of his trance and walked away, deciding to leave the couple alone.
